EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Cinnamon Gardens, a tranquil suburb of Colombo, the capital city of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), during the British colonial era, circa 1910. The image showcases a serene tree-lined street, dotted with lush, tall trees providing shade to the residents and visitors. Cinnamon Gardens was renowned for its picturesque beauty and was a favored residential area for the British community. In the background, the distinctive red-roofed buildings of the Cinnamon Gardens can be seen, their elegant architecture a testament to the colonial influence. A bustling road runs through the heart of the scene, filled with rickshaws and pedestrians, adding a sense of vibrancy and activity. Among the buildings, the Eye Hospital stands out, its white walls and red cross emblem signifying the vital role it played in providing medical care and treatment to the community. The hospital, a symbol of progress and advancement, was an essential institution in the colonial city, catering to the health needs of the population. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a rich visual narrative of life in Colombo during the British colonial era. The image is a poignant reminder of the diverse cultural heritage that continues to shape Sri Lanka's vibrant history.
